'A soulless serial killer threads his way through the lives of the characters relentlessly.' Amazon USA review 'Just read it with no expectations of having read another novel like it.' Source: USA Reviews. CORNWALL, ENGLAND. In the summer of love, 1967, two children witness a murder. One, a seven-year old boy, views it from fifty yards - the other, a young Irish girl, from miles away... LONDON, 2006. With retirement looming, DCI John Kennedy reopens the only case he never solved: the disappearance of a young nurse, Kathy, twenty-three years earlier. A cold-case reconstruction tracing Kathy's last known movements is broadcast on TV. A new witness emerges, and Kennedy, finding himself on the trail of a serial killer, unwittingly sparks a sequence of events which lead him into ever increasing danger. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes apparent that the murderer is no ordinary adversary. Resourceful and cunning, it seems only the original witnesses from 1967 can stop him. But they have yet to meet... The Sister is a fast-paced epic story. Suspenseful, thrilling and compelling, it is a mystery that unravels over time, following the fate of a group of seemingly unconnected people, whose lives have been blighted by a psychopathic killer.… (meer)

A sadistic, intelligent, evolving serial killer that makes effective use of boiler suits. A traumatized young boy who grows up to be a private investigator with a supernatural gift. A head constable who finds himself an unwilling blackmailed pawn to the killer's machinations. A reclusive psychic with a powerful black stone. A deadly secret cult seeking global power and control. With 500 pages and 156 chapters, Max China has woven an intense novel of paranormal suspense that requires a lot of patience from the reader. Swinging back and forth from detailed back stories, multiple major and minor character points-of-views and different story arcs through thirty years, this novel took a lot of note-taking and bookmarking from me to help follow the threads as they came together near the end. The author would have made the story easier to follow if he had grouped the chapters of the various story arcs into sections, giving the reader transition marks to sort out the grand story along the way.

I may get some pushback from the 4 and 5 star reviewers. Yes, the author has crafted an in-depth multi-genre novel. I am amazed how well the story is woven through so many characters and so many years. The author is to be complimented for keeping it all straight.

However, the complexity of the story was also its' downfall for me. This is a complex novel that requires the reader to really concentrate on the who, what, where, and why. For a novel of such length, that is not easily done. This is not a read for awhile, put down, and pick up novel. You really need to keep at it and take your time recognizing that it is important to concentrate on the characters and storyline. That decreased the enjoyment for me.

If you are someone that can dedicate the time and energy to a well crafted tome, this may be a good endeavor for you. The ending wraps up all bits of the story except for the serial killer so there is the potential for a sequel. ( )
